== Gameplay == left|thumb|A district in the Steppe The player can select one of the three playable healers listed by their honorifics: The Bachelor (Daniil Dankovsky), Haruspex (Artemy Burakh), and The Devotress, Klara (later re-translated as "The Changeling, Clara"). Only the former two may be played at the beginning of Pathologic, as Clara must be unlocked after completing the game with either the Bachelor or Haruspex. The questlines which are available will depend on the character that is being played. The other unselected characters are present in the town throughout each others' storylines, who at certain points in gameplay the player may encounter.
